"Am at the Ebb Airport,
waiting 4 Cetraca'
came the text from Timon Grodya,
a Congolese dentist, now based in Kampala, Uganda.
And with those words, the newly-formed, Australian-based organisation,
CONGO DENTAL SUPPORT Incorporated,
has been launched.
'Tim' has been appointed the Regional Director of CDSI by the Australian Board of Directors. His part-time role, shared with his job at Jubilee Dental in central Kampala, is initially to visit the three Anglican dental clinics in Eastern DRC for training purposes and to work out how we, in Australia, are able to help him develop the dental work there. Shouldn't be too hard, should it?
At the moment he is at Entebbe Airport and is about to fly on the 17 seater Cetraca plane into the Democratic Republic of Congo to visit the first dental clinic set up in the Anglican Church's Health Service at the large city of Butembo, North Kivu, by Dr Graham Toulmin 25 years ago. Then in a week or so he will visit the second Anglican clinic in Aru begun in 2004 and then move on to visit the third clinic begun in 2010.
If you know Timon, or if you have read about him in my earlier blog dentalsafariafrica.blogspot.com
and if you would like to support him and enable us to do some great things for dentistry in DRC with him as our representative, you can make a donation to our CONGO DENTAL SUPPORT Inc Bank Account.
